Ex-EDP dividend and 4 other things you need to know to start the day
Here, EDP shares go ex-dividend and the market may react to Sporting’s title of champion. On Wall Street, the reaction to data from Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway quarterly accounts is expected to dominate attention.
| EDP shares not entitled to dividend |
| EDP will distribute the dividend for the 2023 financial year on May 8th. Therefore, from today onwards, the electric company’s shares trade without the right to dividend – which has a gross value of 0.195 euros per share. |
| The reaction to Sporting’s title |
| The actions of Sporting’s SAD will be in focus this Monday after the “lions” secured the title of national football champions yesterday, as a result of the defeat suffered by Benfica in Famalicão. |
| The Buffet Effect on Wall Street |
| Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway revealed its first quarter accounts over the weekend. It became known, for example, that the “oracle of Omaha” company reduced its stake in Apple. Buffet’s investment choices are always met with great interest on Wall Street. |
| Unemployment in Spain |
| This Monday the number of unemployed people in the neighboring country in April will be known. In March, the number of registered unemployed people in Spain fell 1.2% compared to the previous month to 2.73 million, the lowest figure for a month of March since 2008. |
| Car sales in Germany |
| Today the numbers of new cars registered in Germany, the largest European market, will be published. The data, if weak, could penalize German manufacturers, such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Volkswagen, which dominate the German market. |
